Edit by MrsJrotax101 - If you click the image on this link that has a "WARNING" take extra caution. It shows someone with their legs blown off. It is EXTREMELY graphic.

one picture on there is pretty crazy. This is just sad! My cousin goes to Boston College and runs track for them, he took part of the marathon he was a mile away from the finish line when the bombing occurred. I've been on the phone all day.
